Signs & symbols produce meaning in a world saturated with images. Logolike notations, enclosed in simple shapes as in the World & Sign tote bag, invoke familiar images we see from international airports to highway insignia. In this cosmology, each color corresponds to different levels of perception: green stands for material, blue for the everyday world, yellow for ideas, white and black for language and red for the subjective.
